My academic work focuses on both clinical and research conceptualization as well as assessment of creative processes in the context of the patient-therapist relationship in two modalities: individual therapy, and mother-child and father-child dyadic therapy. I have been presenting my research and my clinical knowledge in academic seminars in Israel and abroad and in the last two years also presenting at internationals conferences, workshops and academic forums.

My academic work is interdisciplinary, integrating different fields of research, such as bibliotherapy, psychotherapy, motherhood, literature, gender, internet studies and qualitative research. My publications focus on clinical work in the field of bibliotherpy and parent-child dyadic therapy. My theoretical and clinical thinking integrates Relational Psychoanalysis.
